The aging TSX voting machines are being phased out as replacement parts cannot be purchased. The goal is to phase out the TSX machines and go to a paper ballot by 2015: Finding #2: Aging of Current Vating Machines • Although the number of TSX voting machines assigned to the precincts exceeded the minimum requirements (Code of Virginia 24.2-627A), machine malfunctions did occur during the 2012 Presidential election, and replacements were provided. • The current stock of TSX voting machines will continue to deteriorate with age, and will require replacement with a new system approved by the Virginia State Board of Elections. • Per General Assembly, TSX does not have a paper trail for recounts and these machines can no longer be purchased. • Currently, the Voter Registrar and Electoral Board have future budget plans to procure optical scanners, ballot " boxes and voting privacy booths to have in place by 2015. Mr. Remias recommended continuing to seek funding to replace the current TSX voting machines. Recammendation 2.1 Continue to seek funding to replace the current TSX voting machines. 18 March 11, 2014 -11- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING VOTER REGISTRATION Participation and Safeguarding Voter Records Audit Results ITEM #63569(Continued) The audit also identified the current office space is insufficient for adequate securiry of voter registration applications and the storage of election materials and equipment: Finding #3: Hausing, Storage and Security Finding #3: Hausing, Starage and Security • The voting machines and pollbook laptops are stored in cramped warehouse space. • The Voter Registrar has over 900 TSX voting machines and over 300 pollbook laptops. • The warehouse is where the inspection, calibration, some repairs and certification is conducted. zo March 11, 2014 -12- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING VOTER REGISTRATION Participation and Safeguarding Voter Records Audit Results ITEM #63569(Continued) Mr. Remias recommended more office space for the Voter Registrar's office: Recommendations 3.1 Work with City management to seek more office space for the Voter Registrar's office and space for storage of voting machines and pollbooks. 3.2 Temporarily rearrange office space to move active and inactive and/or deleted voter registrations to the middle room which is more secure and does not have windows. z, Mr. Remias attended the training provided by the Electoral Board and noted several areas for improvement: Finding #4: Election Officials Training • The Voter Registrar's Office and the Electoral Board provide training for all election officials who work at the precincts. • We noted several areas for improvement. . ._? zz March 11, 2014 -13- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING VOTER REGISTRATION Participation and Safeguarding Voter Records Audit Results ITEM #63569(Continued) Recommendatians 4.1 Implement suggested recommendations for Elections 101 training. 4.2 Develop a leadership training class for precinct Chiefs to enhance proficiency in management of the election processes in their precinct. 4.3 Collect and disseminate the applicable experiences ("lessons learned") of precinct Chiefs to other Chiefs for enhanced training and knowledge. 23 Mr. Remias expYessed his appreciation to Ms. Patterson and her staff for the cooperation and assistance in completing the audit: Conclusion • Based on the results of our audit, we identified several areas of operations and internal controls of the Voter Registrar Office that can be enhanced through implementation of our recommendations.

Ms. Horoszewski is the Executive Director of Virginia Beach Community Development Corporation (VBCDC) Nonprofit Affiliate, Southeastern Virginia Housing Corporation. She recognized the other Board Members present. She advised the propeYty located at Rosemont Road and Buckner Boulevard will be used to construct a fifry four (54) unit multi family residence under the Ciry's Workforce Housing Ordinance. She has been a member of the Ciry's Workforce Housing Advisory Board since its inception, has developed properties in an effort to make housing affordable. Six (6) apartments will be handicap accessible. The families that will live in this property are members of the community and the waitlist for Workforce housing is extensive. The citizens that live in Workforce Housing communities are committed to being good neighbors. This project will be high quality and very much in line with the other Workforce Housing properties. Tony Nero, 222 Central Park Drive, spoke in FAVOR, stating the members of the VBCDC have a true passion for helping the Workforce population in providing affordable housing. The majority of the Workforce Housing projects in the City are single family homes, but there are no properties for single or married citizens without children, who qualify for Workforce Housing. Ann Crenshaw, 1216 Cedar Point Drive, spoke in FAVOR, stating the Application is for Workforce Housing; however, VBCDC has proffered to not take the extra density allowed in the Workforce Housing Ordinance. The project has a long road to travel before it is approved and will go before the Planning Cornmission and come back to City Council for final consideration. Frances Laskey, 3576 Storm Bird Loop, Phone: 368-9965, spoke in OPPOSITION, advising she has been a resident there for the past fifteen (15) years. She stated it appears the City did not provide adequate notice to the neighborhood to learn about the sale. If this is approved this evening, the impression is the project is a"done deal ". Ms. Laskey expressed concern regarding the maximum density of this project, as well as February 28`" being the first attempt to contact the community. She understands the deadline to receive the tax credit is March 14`" but, if the project is delayed a year, they would have adequate time to receive the credit as well as ensure the community has time to express concerns. Joseph Hildman, 3777 Purebred Drive, Phone: 454-2027, spoke in OPPOSITION, advising he has been a resident there for the past thirteen (13) years. He just received notification of this proposed project and has numerous concerns. Mr. Hildman advised the property has flooding issues and feels that this has not been properly reviewed.

In the event that (a) the Securities Depository determines not to continue to act as the securities depository for the Bonds by giving notice to the Registrar, and the City discharges its responsibilities hereunder, or (b) the City, in its sole discretion, determines (i) that beneficial owners of Bonds shall be able to obtain certificated Bonds or (ii) to select a new Securities Depository, then the City's Director of Finance shall, at the direction of the City Manager, attempt to locate another qualified securities depository to serve as Securities Depository and authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the new Securities Depository or its nominee, or authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the beneficial owners or to the Securities 4837-5709-6984.2 2 Depository participants on behalf of beneficial owners substantially in the form provided for in Section 5; provided, that such form shall provide for interest on the Bonds to be payable (A) from the date of the Bonds if they are authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, or (B) from the interest payment date that is or immediately precedes the date on which the Bonds are authenticated (unless payment of interest thereon is in default, in which case interest on such Bonds shall be payable from the date to which interest has been paid).

So long as there is a Securities Depository for the Bonds, (1) it or its nominee shall be the registered owner of the Bonds, (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Resolution, determinations of persons entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, transfers of ownership and exchanges, and receipt of notices shall be the responsibility of the Securities Depository and shall be effected pursuant to rules and procedures established by such Securities Depository, (3) the Registrar and the City shall not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, its participants or persons acting through such participants, (4) references in this Resolution to registered owners of the Bonds shall mean such Securities Depository or its nominee and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the Bonds, and (5) in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Resolution and the provisions of the above-referenced Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, such provisions of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, except to the extent set forth in this paragraph and the next preceding paragraph, shall control. 3. Redemption Provisions. (a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City Manager, in whole or in part, at any time on and after dates, if any, determined by the City Manager, with the first such optional redemption date beginning no later than December 31, 2024 as set forth in Section 2 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption premium, if any, not to exceed 2% of the principal amount to be redeemed, such redemption premium to be determined by the City Manager in consultation with the Financial Advisor. (b) Mandatorv Sinking Fund Redemption. Any portion of the Bonds issued as term bonds may be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption upon terms determined by the City Manager. If so determined by the City Manager, the Bonds may provide that the City may take a credit against the mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation of any maturity of term Bonds in the amount of Bonds of the same maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation and have not been applied previously as such a credit. If the City wishes to take such a credit, on or before the 70th day next preceding any such mandatory sinking fund redemption date, the City's Director of Finance may instruct the Registrar to apply a credit against the City's mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for any Bonds of the applicable 4837-5709-6984.2 3 maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation by the City and have not been previously applied as a credit against any mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for that maturity of the Bonds. Each Bond so previously optionally redeemed or surrendered shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the principal amount of such maturity of the Bonds required to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund redemption date or dates for such maturity as may be selected by the Director of Finance. (c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for optional redemption, the maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Bonds within such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the Securities Depository pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book-entry system is discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine.

Mr. Bauer expressed concern regarding the increases proposed for health insurance premiums and is going to be forced to decline health insurance and pay the government's penalty. He advised his pay does not qualify him for Wot°kforce Housing. He was fortunate to purchase a townhouse years ago and can afford his mortgage. Mr. Bauer stated the morale in public works is terrible and everyone is trying to survive. Francisco Plasencia, 442 Williams Road, Phone: 532-4934, advised he, too, has worked for the City for the past thirteen (13) years; however, he has not seen a net increase for the past three (3) years. His proposed Health Care Premiums increase will be 88%. He requested the current proposal be revised. The Health Care increase puts a burden on the employees and, hopefully, it is not yet a done deal. William Bailey, 644 Edwin Drive, Phone: 288-5761, President of the Virginia Beach Firefighters, advised he is prepared to give the "State of the Employees" speech, in anticipation of the Mayor's upcoming "State of the City ". Mr. Bailey advised the first gentleman that spoke "summed it all up ". The increase in Health Care Premiums for retiYees will force employees to work longer which only increases the risk of injury, which in turn, will increase workers compensation claims. Mr. Bailey stated we all love the City and rnust remember we are all on the same team. Trenace Riggs, 3608 Brannon Drive, Phone: 403-3573, president of Virginia Beach Educator's Association, expressed concern regarding the increase in costs of benefits and the small salary increase. She advised that everyone works daily to ensure citizens receive services and Schools do not face cuts to student programs. Employees continue to take home less pay year after year and employees are just "making it". Ms. Riggs requested City Council provide the additional funds for Schools to provide a 5% pay razse. Ken Chord, 2536 Clubhouse Drive, Phone: 693-0105, expressed concern regarding the Mayor's affiliation with organizations that are trying to confiscate guns. On January 30, 1995, Eric Holder stated government was going to "brainwash" people in an effort to confiscate guns and now the ` Authorztarians " are censoring guns on Facebook and he stated Mayor Sessoms has no right to promote that type of agenda. Bryan Stevenson, 621 Antioch Street, One of City Council's concerns was the State Law that "any dog caught killing a chicken would be killed" and that has now changed. On July Is`, the new law takes effect that allows Animal Control Officers the option to kill or capture a dog that has killed a chicken. The City of Chesapeake had a one (1) year Sunset Clause and there were no incidents reported during that time March 11, 2014 -75- period. Mr. Stevenson advised that he would like to have a Member of City Council support backyard hens and draft a City Ordinance for consideration, once the Budget has been adopted. Erik Wagner, 5456 Shell Road, Phone: 407-4528, spoke in support of Backyard Hens. Mayor Sessoms' previous stance was not in support of bachyard hens and Mr. Wagner hopes that has now changed with the new State Law. He requested one member of City Council support backyard hens and draft a City Ordinance for consideration. Carl Wright, 1144 Mondrian Loop, Phone: 235-5596, stated the first gentleman that spoke tonight Yepresents a majoriry of the City; lots of people feel like they don't have a voice. The election system in place is wrong and the time has come when change is needed. He is not concerned about himself but for his children and grandchildren. Mr. Wright stated every citizen deserves fair representation and Members of City Council should start being accountable. Christine Ross, 749 Whistling Swan Drive, Phone: 905-0265, requested the Ciry close the Abortion Cliraics within the City by rezoning the properties, buying the buildings where they operate and/or declaring the clinics as "dangerous nuisances ". Yenus Marshall, (757) 289-5602, stated she agrees with Mr. Wright in that every voice has a right to be heard. She stated it is time the right people get into office to ensure that every citizen is heard. Ms. Marshall advised she will continue to be persistent and educate people regarding the lack of accountability public officials have under the current election system and the benefits of a true "At Large " system. The Public Dialogue re Non-Agenda Items concluded at 7:48 P.M. March 11, 2014
